Accelerated Orthodontics Costs for Barnet Patients

The cost is not a single price. It adds to your main treatment such as Invisalign or braces. The extra can range from £500 to over £2,000 depending on the tech. For example, a home vibration device is cheaper than minor procedures like micro-osteoperforation. The price reflects the technology, the clinic time, and how much you want to speed up. For Barnet patients, a consultation at our Finchley clinic includes a 3D scan and a clear cost breakdown with no hidden fees.

Choose this option if you have a deadline like a wedding or a new job where you want a strong smile. It also suits busy professionals who want to shorten treatment time. You may be a good candidate if you commit to the plan and hope to cut total time by about 30-50%. For example, a Barnet patient preparing for a wedding in nine months completed a 14 month Invisalign plan just in time for the big day.

You start with a 60 minute visit at our Finchley clinic. We use a 3D CBCT scan to assess teeth and jaw and decide if you are suitable for both orthodontics and acceleration. Then we map out the plan, for example Invisalign. The acceleration part may be a home device used 20 minutes a day or a short in clinic procedure. You continue regular checkups every 6-8 weeks. The main difference is you might swap Invisalign aligners weekly instead of every two weeks, shortening the overall timeline. Finally, after teeth align, we use Vivera retainers to protect the result.

If you use a non invasive device there is no recovery period. If a minor procedure is used you may feel mild tenderness in the gums for 24-48 hours, manageable with over the counter pain relief. Long term care is the same as any orthodontic treatment: wear retainers as instructed, usually every night, for life. One of our patients from Barnet, a teacher, found this commitment easy and was happy to finish months early before the new school year.

The main alternative is standard treatment without acceleration. This tends to be lower cost. For example Invisalign Full (£4,400) over 12-18 months gives good results without extra acceleration. This is a good choice if time is not your priority. Another option for minor issues is Invisalign Lite (£3,300), which is faster (about 6-8 months) since it handles less complex cases. At your consultation we’ll discuss whether the extra cost for acceleration provides value compared with these standard options.

To choose what fits you, ask any provider, whether in Barnet or Finchley, key questions. What specific accelerated technology do you use and what are its success rates? How much will it add to my total cost? Based on my case, what is a realistic revised timeline? Are there any additional risks or discomfort compared to standard treatment? Will my results be as stable as those from a traditional plan? Finally ask if they accept your insurance like Denplan or Cigna for any part of the treatment.
